They teach us how to stand in line and we follow like a frightened herd
question nothing swallow everything 'cause obedience is a virtue

Line up the parade of fools and let the games begin
The one with the most possessions when he dies is the one to win

Competition, emulation, teaches us to win at any cost
Our egotism is rewarded as long we don't look back at what we lost
What we have left behind.
Like a burden, those who encumber us can be sacrificed

These false ambitions taste like poison
Where will they lead us now?
